The maximum amount for these 1-year research grants is $40,000. Up to 4 research grants may be funded in 2003 for research in: * Evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapist interventions related to questions 3.6 or 3.7 of APTA's Clinical Research Agenda. * Evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapist interventions for older adults. * Evaluating the effectiveness of common physical therapist interventions for children with high incidence of special needs. * Evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapist interventions. The 2003 grant year is January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. Recipients will be notified in November 2002. The purpose of the Foundation's Research grant program is to fund research studies by emerging investigators. An emerging investigator is an individual who has had some previous research experience and who has completed postprofessional graduate or postgraduate work, or who is beginning in a new field of research or making strategic changes in research direction within an existing line of research. The intent of the Foundation is to fund the highest-quality, scientifically based, and clinically relevant research with priority given to projects having the most immediate clinical application. Questions about McMillan Scholarship or Research Grant application guidelines or about the application process should be directed to Lucy Dickson, Scientific Program Administrator, Foundation for Physical Therapy at lucydickson@apta.org. Foundation Forum: "How to Get It and Where It Goes" The Foundation Forum, "How to Get It and Where It Goes," held on June 7, 2002, at APTA's Annual Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, provided valuable information on how to improve one's chances of being awarded Foundation funding. Information was provided from the perspectives of both Scientific Review Committee members and past funding recipients. The importance of Foundation-supported research and its impact on the process of changing clinical practice was also spotlighted. Three members of the Foundation's Scientific Review Committee participated in the "How to Get It" portion of the forum program. Richard Shields, PT, PhD, University of Iowa Not to be confused with Iowa State University. The first faculty offered instruction at the University in March 1855 to students in the Old Mechanics Building, situated where Seashore Hall is now. In September 1855, the student body numbered 124, of which, 41 were women. , Iowa City, Iowa Iowa City is a city in Johnson County, Iowa, United States. It is the principal city of the Iowa City, Iowa Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses Johnson and Washington counties. , and Chairperson of the Foundation's Scientific Review Committee (SRC (SouRCe) Contrast with DST, which is an abbreviation of "destination." ) moderated the forum and presented useful tips on applying for Research Grant support.

G Kelly Fitzgerald, PT, PhD, OCS, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa, the recipient of a Foundation research grant in 2000 and other Foundation support in 1995 and 1997, answered the question, "Why is scientific research important to physical therapy clinicians?" Dr Fitzgerald used the results from his Foundation-funded research grant, "High Intensity Electrical Stimulation for Quadriceps Femoris Strength Training in Post-Operative Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction  This article or section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling.You can assist by [ editing it] now.
